These two are for my boys......and the rest are for gifts. They could also be used for marbles or anything really.
I have done more but i think u get the jist of the idea of what i made.

Then I found these cute hankies and turned them into pencil bags, with the drawstrings. The ones with the cute yo-yo flowers are for the twins Lou-Lou and Scarlett.

Sew what next???

These headbands were fun to make too................and pretty!

Well I have been venturing into a new hobby SEWING!!!! This interest has been sparked by my friend who sews. We have been creating together some gorgeous delectable felt play food for our kids check them out at http://sewinghumblethreads@blogspot.com Food from pizza to pasta, to sweet delights, icecreams, and fruit and vegetable, well one vegie at this stage.

So with the felt food inspiration came more sewing ideas and the thought that yes i can do this. Hence Jacks Chef outfit. Love the Green check, being his favourite colour it looks great on him.

Mum delighted me with the gift of a sewing machine for my b'day. These are some of the things I have begun to create.......OOOOO it's fun isn't it!

I am really excited to share so many little projects with you that i have been completing.

Recently I was given some frames to recycle and do something? with, thanks Don! I suddenly got inspired to recreate a new look for my front entrance area that has always been a difficult space to make work, that seems comfortable, as it is not a huge area.

Hiding in the shed was a very worn chest of drawers which i just love, and i had started to sand back some years ago( another incomplete project) anyhoo, thought i would just dust off the dust and move it back inside. I have added a great mirror that i picked up treasure hunting for $5.00.

Then too decorate...as u can see in the pic, this is how i have it now. On the table top are some frames that i have made., going with the beachy theme.

I have been doing soooo many little projects this week it is really hard to share it all at once, so I am going to share a little each day for the next few days.

It is exactly the feel that is me, and i am so content in the earthy, rustic, beachy, shabby chic look, that completes my soul. So, all up one happy little crafter here. I have got the serious redecorate and craft bug its not funny, look out kids Mums on a creative roll, so don't stand in her way. I have managed to find time to feed and bath them, in between, and they have also helped me a little along the way..thanks boys.xxx

Well as they say someones else's trash, someone else's treasure, which is the case this week when Don, was doing her clean out, she passed on some photo frames to me, in a variety of sizes and some craft boards. This Blue hessian, butterfly board is something i created today from one of them, actually i made 2, ready to sell at the next market. Staple gun, paint, hessian, and some ribbon pieces in my ribbon box...cost? Next to nothing.
These simple gift tags, have been stashed away for a few years now, i went mad on making them at some point, theyre still real pretty and will be put out for sale real cheap at my next upcoming market. I've put 6 in a bag and will sell for $1.00. Cheap!

A few weeks ago, when tripping thru one of my fav. weekend markets, my dear friend and I came across some gorgeous handmade mulberry paper. In many colours, so this week I made these pink envelopes with a sheet of it and stamped on a starfish. Bit cute i thought so i will be making some more......of course, more colours to experiment with.

Just a little bottle decorating, with food colour..looks really affective at night with the coloured lights.

On the back of the ute.

Koonacking adventure.

Below : Our new Guinea Pig G-Force. Above : View off the verandah past the wind spiral.

Had a fabulous long weekend!!! Joined friends for their wedding party, which was held on their farm, just a short drive and we were there. Old friends, and children everywhere about 30 or so! They had a ball, running free in the country side exploring and inventing games, they didn't stop all day. The company and food was brilliant and the day cam to an end. Rather late for myself and a few others that sat around the kitchen table chatting until midnight, lots of laughs and some great stories were told!

The next day was adventurous again. We all shared a huge cooked breakfast (on the barbie) and toasted an early morning drink (champers and orange and beer) to the ANZACS - " lest we forget ".

After breakfast we went on the koonacking adventure, and had a great feed for lunch. So, after another big day adventuring, we set off home from the weekend, tired, dirty and hungry!

SO, again i am reenergised after having some country air and have spent a lovely day pottering in the garden rearanging and changing the scene again, particularly outside.

The boys are enjoying their Guinea pig G-force, and we are discovering that they sure do poop a lot!!!!! I'm just going to pop on a few photos from the weekend and our new Guinea friend!

Adios for now!

Seashells from the beach, rose petals from the pink roses Beth gave me, and the gorgeous blue bowl, i picked up at the oppie...awww pretty!

To the right is Dee's beautiful hand spun wool, she spun for the boys, the old fashioned way, with love and passion and skill.

My beautiful sheets of handmade mulberry paper, I just love them!

Well, Well well where have i been!!! I have been completely out of the blog world for a time, Hmmm..... just a few months. Which doesn't mean that i haven't been doing anything creative at all..it's just that my headspace has been preoccupied elsewhere.

Just enjoyed 2 weeks fab school holidays catching up with some very longtime friends and family...a quick trip out to M & D's farm, getting a quick feel for open space country life, very nice indeed. A four day trip to Bunbury and a day trip to Busselton with the boys, was fantastic. I feel reenergised and spiritually and creatively ready to roll again.

I've been You know moving things furniture and oddments around again creating a new energy in the home and doing some more pottering in the garden and with my pot plants. Last week saw me visit 3 op shops, whcih i picked up some amazing bargains...didn't need them, but liked them with a big thumbs so at a few dollars each who could argue, not Me!

I also visited the swap meet and came across a lady who sells beautiful (imported) handmade mulberry paper in all colours and it is sooooooooo beautiful. What a great find and soooo cheap at a $1 a sheet. Unbelievable will definately get some more from her.

A picnic and a trip to the beach found me some new shells to add to the collection. Yes i'm all inspired by beachy things. Enjoying my home life around other lifes instances.

We have a new pet tooo a male adult guinea pig called G-force or Mr G for short! A completely, random, spontaneous thing, but now we have a new family member and the boys will enjoy him immensley. Guess i will be left to clean the cage and protect the poor thing from their busy hands.

I hope you like my little pic's of treasures...and let it be known that, i'm back in the creative sing! la,la,laaaaaaaaa!
